Mixture when not using fruit sauce:
- Mix well and store in jar
2 c brn sugar
1 T salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cloves
*Add 1/4 c mixture to 2 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil. Add 2 c oats, turn down heat, stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add 1/4 c milk and 2 T maple syrup. Cover and let set around 15 minutes before serving. (If you like to eat right away in the morning, you might want to start your oatmeal right before your shower.)
To make variations to the recipe, try adding more or less of the mixture or syrup to adjust flavor and more or less milk or water to adjust creaminess. If you really like to play around, you can also adjust amounts of seasoning in the mixture. You can also add in flax seed, bananas (my favorite!), raisins, top with cinnamon, etc.

YUM!!! I can't wait to try it! thanks for sharing! :)
Glad you've found an oatmeal that matches your pallet! Here's another idea for you, we use our rice cooker (or a crock pot works too) all fall/winter/spring for making our morning oatmeal. We really prefer the steel-cut oats (you can get them really cheap at the Amish store south of Chariton).

Jill - Thank you so much for your link! What a perfect idea to use the rice cooker. I even have one. :) I've also always wondered about the steel cut oats but have never tried them. Now I'm going to have to! Hope your spring planning is coming along well.
Great recipe. I’m definitely going to try and I bet my mom will love it because she is such an oatmeal addict. Well, I think I will love it as well. Thanks for sharing.
